    Ira,
    unfortunately, that leads to my maxim, never let a domain go -- at the 
    very least renew it and park it,
    you might make enough to pay the fees -- and definitely better for piece 
    of mind.
    
    BTW, that 'parked for free' means he is getting any revenue the park is 
    producing, if it's just your old content, and maybe some for really good URL
